Further analysis of the underlying mechanisms reveals that remote meetings foster dissenting behavior by reducing independent directors' perceived power distance and enhancing their diligence in fulfilling their duties. Additionally, the effect of remote meetings on dissenting behavior is more pronounced in companies with greater board-level hierarchical divergence, characterized by lower independent director compensation, greater internal pay disparity, weaker informal hierarchies, and higher board shareholding. Finally, remote board meetings also have a spillover effect, improving the diligence of independent directors in other boards where they hold concurrent directorships.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102698"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143339839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reveal that the PPF pilot policies have significantly stimulated corporate investment by lowering debt financing costs and concurrently expanding investment opportunities. Subsequent analyses suggest that the impact of PPF pilot policies on corporate investment is more pronounced for companies facing higher financing constraints, possessing greater patent value, and operating in regions with lower levels of financial development.

It integrates the advantages of three ensemble models: bagging, boosting, and local cascading, including reducing model variance, reducing model bias, and simplifying complex problems by learning different parts of the training data. And it alleviates the problem of low generalization performance of traditional ensemble models caused by imbalanced loan data of farmers. Through the empirical analysis of the data of farmers' loans of China poverty alleviation agency “CHONGHO BRIDGE”, it is found that its average rank is 2.1, which is better than other integrated models in the credit risk evaluation of farmers' microfinance.

CVC, operating across organizational boundaries, needs to address two critical issues: external search and internal integration. However, it is driven by two incongruent institutional logics: ‘integrated’ and ‘arm's-length,’ which influence the effectiveness of the strategy implementation and its' synergistic effects on internal innovation. Using data from Chinese publicly listed firms between 2005 and 2020, our quadratic regression models with panel data reveal an inverted-U relationship between CVC intensity and internal R&amp;D efforts. Such a relationship is more salient for less knowledge-intensive firms, smaller firms, and non-state-owned enterprises. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this activity is greatly conditioned on its implementation and the firm's technological capabilities. We find that strategic measures such as appointing senior managers to oversee CVC activities, establishing multiple CVC units, and advancing digitalization can amplify the positive effects of CVC on R&amp;D. Our research sheds light on how CVC strategy implementation and digitalization can improve the synergy between external knowledge exploration and internal innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 102697"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the mechanism tests show that increasing innovation quality is mainly reflected in non-cooperative inventors and non-core research and development (R&amp;D) team inventors, and inventor executive turnover leads to more new inventors and higher innovation efficiency, which is consistent with the resource reallocation channel. We also find that the resource reallocation effect is stronger for general inventor executives rather than top inventor executives (CEO or chairman), and that inventor executive turnover boosts the total number of patent applications and the share of invention patents at the firm level.

Using manually collected financial regulatory information from both central and local government websites in China, we quantify the financial regulatory strategies of local governments from three perspectives: the intensity of local regulatory enforcement, the depth of local responses to central policies, and the degree of alignment between local and central regulatory goals. We employ the Cox proportional hazards model and competing risk model on P2P platform event data, revealing that P2P platform risks are significantly lower in regions with more intensive regulation enforcement, deeper responses to central policies, and better alignment of local goals with those of the central government. We analyze the theoretical mechanisms of the above empirical findings using institutional theory, decentralization theory, and policy uncertainty theory. Robustness checks using alternative regulatory and P2P platform risk measurements, instrumental variable methods and alternative samples yield consistent results. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that government regulatory strategies have a greater impact on the risks of large platforms and platforms headquartered in provincial capitals.
